Tips & Advice
- Come hungry for the Rathausplatz food stands, where you can try fresh langos, oven-baked potatoes and hot soup served in a bread loaf.
- Stop by the Kremayrhaus courtyard for mulled wine or punch, because Rust's own clubs run the stands there and your purchase supports them.
- Look beyond the main square into the burgher houses and winery courtyards, which hold their own Advent markets with crafts and regional products.
- Dress warmly, since the stalls are outdoors in squares and courtyards and the market stays open into the evening.
Special Events & Promotions
- Besides the usual Friday-to-Sunday schedule, the market is also open on Monday 7 December and Tuesday 8 December.
- Florian Graf's stand serves new punch varieties alongside hot soups in bread loaves.
